No. 872,509. specification of To all whom 'it 'may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH GRNINGER, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of the borough of the Bronx, New York city, in the county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful .improvements in Tobacco-Pipes, of which the following is a specication.

My invention has reference to improvements in tobacco lpi es.

It is the specia object of this invention to provide a novel smoking pi e which, by virtue of the combination of t e parts oi which it consists keeps in a sanitary condition when or not without interrupting smoking.

The pipe pertains to that type in which. a spiral is employed within the stem whereby a long passageway for the smoke lis p rocured.

The invention isi illustrated in the accom panying drawingin which: i Figure 1 re resents in longitudinal central section, part y in elevation a.tobacco 'pipe which embodies my invention, and Fig. 2 shows in section artly in 'elevation a modification of the bow end of the pipe.

Similar characters of reference denote like parts in all the figures.

The interior of the novel pi e forms one continuous channel between t e bowl and the mouth piece which channel extends beyond the bowl and communicates with the cup for collecting the nicotin and water vapor'which cup also is beyond the bowl so that the smoke drawn through the pipe doesnot come in contact with sa'id condensed water and nicotin.l Care is taken that the nicotin and water vapor iiow directly oi when they are formed whereby a more agreeable and healthful smoking isassured. In the drawing a .represents the bowl which has the usual opening b through its bottom ortion. A stem connectswith the bowl which in Fig.l 1 is shown to be attached under an acute an le while inFig. 2 the stem is secured to the owl under a right angle. The bowl of the pipe shown in Fig. 1 has a tubular extension e integral therewith and a y VLemie Patent. 'iwlimoniea November 25,1905. sesamo. 289,015;

stem is secured therein. The stem extends Patented Dec. 3, 1907.

beyond the bowl and is ada ted to receive thereon a cup The mout piece d has a ferrule g to which a s iral h is permanently secured or made out ci) the same piece as the mouth piece and then integral therewith. The spiral and mouth piece are preferably made of hard rubber. The spiral is a solid rubber rod u on the peri hery of which a spiral channe 'i is cut w 'le the portion j which constitutes the thread in a screw has same manner as the spiral channel. 'lhe portion y' iits exactly into'the stern c and the'smoke passes through the sliral groove. A large opening 'if in the. spira around the o ening b prevents the clogging up of the spira groove. The top end of the spiral groove connects with the hollow ferrule of the mouth piece by I means of a channel k. Thus a continuous channel is formed from 'the mouth piece downward through the hollow ferrule, the channel c,.the spiral groove ft', the space` il, the bottom opening b in the bowl, and thus with same but the channel -does no t end there it extends through the lower portion of the spiral groove tinto the cup The modified form shown in Fig. 2 is constructed exactly like the pipe represented in Fig. 1 with the exception that the stem extends rectangular to the bowl and the cup f is perpendicular thereto but the continuous channels described in connection with Fig. 1` are exactly the same and the smoke romthe pipe cannot come in contactwith any nicotin, juice, or condensed water formed because the construction is such that these iiow Off directly when formed. This makes vthe ipe sanitary in a double sense: First the -smo e is always dry and second the pipe is easily cleaned not to mention thelong spiral g'roove in which the smoke cools.'

Having thus described my invention I' claim as-fnew and desire to secure by Letters A sanitary pipe ofthe class .described com'- prisinga bowl, a stem, a mouth piece'with spirally grooved solid inner plug secured t ereto and extended beyond the bottom opening of the bowl,` a tubular stem portion surrounding said plug, Sand a receptacle attached to the lovver end of the tubular'stem Signed :Lt-New York, N.
